After The Journey
About two months after ending his trip, Graham's daughter, Quimby, was born.
He attended Stanford University for a semester.
Graham and his wife sold the Maverick that Ford had given him and used the money to buy a retired postal van. They moved to a mountain property near Kalispell, Montana where they built a log home. In 1972 they moved closer to town and started building a larger log home. The skills learned led Graham to pursue career as a builder and furniture maker. He and his wife had a second child, a son named Ben.
In 1982, he helped skipper a sailboat delivery from Hawaii to California with his father, Lyle, in the crew. This trip helped cement a reconciliation between the two. Their relationship had been strained since near the end of the attempted circumnavigation and started recovering when Lyle helped with the construction of one of Robin’s homes.
In 1983 with co-author Derek Gill, Graham wrote a follow-up book titled Home is the Sailor.
